It seems early and maybe the warm weather has fooled them but the first flights of Sandhill Cranes heading NE across the Sierras passed the house yesterday. Best indicator of the season change I know of. Good luck to them.
Well it looks like winter is about to return with a vengeance to California. Temps next week into thee 50s and the computer models are showing an El Nino pattern finally hitting California with rainfall being measured in inches over the next couple of weeks starting Sunday.
Man, I hope you're right. It's getting close to chick time so cold won't be good if there's much rain. Accuweather doesn't show it as being bad. Two days of rain in March for Sacto and then a few days with scattered showers is what they show and only two days in the mid 50s. The moisture may make some bugs to help any young birds but then this is all based on long range weather predictions and we know how accurate they are. Moisture and cool will be good for the animals. Fruit growers, not so much.
